Casual Stroll to Mordor

Pineleaf has prepared this video to explain the Skirmisher of Middle-earth Meta Deed that is new with Update 7.

April 24, 2007 was the official launch date of The Lord of the Rings Online and today we are celebrating 5-years in Middle-earth!

Turbine has released a trailer for today’s Update 6 release of “Shores of the Great River”.

Today we take a look at the new Premium Barter Wallet coming up in Update 6.

A look at the new emotes available to obtain in the Treasure Hunt Event.

LOTRO Plugin Compendium is an external program (available in Mac, PC, and Linux versions) for Lord of the Rings Online that takes all of the manual work out of installing plugins.

One of the few plugins that I miss from World of WarCraft is ArkInventory. And although due to Lua constrictions we don’t have a plugin that can match that utilities functions, Hugebag is definitely a step in the right direction.

Last week Turbine added some new emotes to the LOTRO Store. Rather than just announcing the new additions, I wanted to create a video of them so you can see them in action.

In this video we take a look at Draigoch’s opening monologue and then a brief up-close look at the dragon itself.

Our Fellowship Walk for Child’s Play event is off to a terrific start! As of this morning we are currently 34% of the way towards our $5,000 goal.

This week we take a look at Gambit Helper from Zanttux. This plugin is something that I have definitely been in need of for a while. Although I have covered Warden plugins before I found myself needing something a bit more extensive.

Tasks are not something that I had a lot of experience with before this plugin. Sure, I would occasionally find some trash items that I could turn in here or there, but it was always difficult to figure out what items needed to be saved if I ran out of inventory space, which ones were safe to sell, etc.

Last week Panthalassia of the Swords and Spirts kinship on Arkenstone wrote to us about a YouTube channel he had started containing in-game footage he had shot with himself and some friends.

A couple of months ago we sent out a post on Facebook and Twitter asking people what plugins they found to be a must, and without doubt Mouse Cursor Highlighter Advanced was one of the most popular ones that was listed. And although I had personally never used it before this, I was aware of the plugin and decided to give it a try.

If you’re like me, you like to have your backpacks organized in-game. But one of the issues that I have is how long it can take after an hour or more of playing to reorganize my packs into something resembling “order”. Enter, the plugin SortPack which will sort your pack for you automatically!
